Watford signs Krepin Diatta, seeks to add midfielder
Summary

Watford has signed Krepin Diatta, a seasoned player with Champions League experience, as they aim to strengthen their squad. Diatta, who has played for Senegal in the World Cup and has experience as a winger, may initially fill in at full-back due to the team's current injury issues. With multiple players on international duty, Watford hopes for no further injuries as they look to secure a midfielder during the international break. The club has historically focused on young overseas players as part of its transfer strategy.
